"Planning, preparation, and understanding are significant conditions precedent to success. Setting goals is also an important component for achieving success. Much of my professional success can be attributed to the education I received as a general business major from Hollins University. The communication skills, confidence, and perspective that I gained from intimate classes and encouraging professors were very helpful during the interviewing process. Just a month after graduating from Hollins as a business major, I landed a job with Navigators Management Company in Chicago. During the time I’ve spent training to become an underwriter, I have continually drawn on the skills and knowledge I acquired at Hollins. I have learned that being successful also requires an ability to work as part of a team, to be discerning, and to recognize talent. The dynamics of the real world are not the same as they are in academia. At Hollins we were prepared for the shift in dynamics and having that advantage has helped me in more ways than one. The move from class projects and exercises to formal presentations is dramatic. Fortunately, my work at Hollins prepared me for the real world and having been prepared I was able to move effortlessly into an excellent position at a great firm.”

"As a global business consultant for Cushman & Wakefield, Inc., in the global market access solutions practice area, I help clients expand/define their global business platform strategy. The professional path that I chose would not be possible without the solid education I received from Hollins. One of the major advantages of a business education at Hollins is the professors. Not only are class sizes small so that you have the opportunity to interact with the professors, they are also more than willing to assist you in whatever your goals are. I have yet to experience such a supportive atmosphere again."
